Literary Desire: Feature News in Response to the Times / by Tan Huiyun

**The press has a common and almost obsessive-compulsive fascination with "speed"; is there no place for in-depth interviews and writing? The press is often criticized for consumption, exploitation of interviewees, and distortion of their words out of context; how does the concept of news feature challenge this mainstream phenomenon?** **It's better to talk about speed than about depth. Feature news reporters present the life world of the interviewees three-dimensionally from multiple angles, turning "them" into us." With real and solid reports, readers can see a world from a grain of sand. ** Investing in long-term interviews, presenting the interviewees and their world from multiple angles and three-dimensionality is a major feature of news features; through the re-presentation of context, strangers become understandable, and familiar things are drawn away, and we can be honest Examine your blind spots. If you feel that watching news is hard work, please understand how this reporter, who has never been willing to live up to his readers’ expectations and social responsibilities, worked hard to write a solid and true report and re-attracted readers to return. Years and ten years, rereading it is still vivid and touching.

From the author's good at drawing materials from anthropology and ethnography, and careful observation, the writing full of humanistic care is enough to make readers empathize. The author's teaching methods inside and outside the classroom are more worthy of reference for readers who are teachers. ──Xiao Si, retired professor and prose writer of the Chinese Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Vivian "came a fire from the bottom of my heart." It was the soul of a journalist. It reminded me of the senior journalists who ran into martial law in Taiwan in the 1980s. She can be hot or cold. In addition to the "hot report" devoted to her wholeheartedness, the book also includes the "cold self-dissection" drawn by a scalpel. Regarding the reason for the story, the production behind the scenes, and the unfinished regrets, the reporter's private conversations are very beautiful. . ──Fang Huizhen, Taiwanese writer and reporter As a media person and public intellectual who promotes justice, Tan Huiyun often starts from the weaker communities in society. She used cinematic text to bring out the essence of the interviewee with the finishing touch. She has a sharp perspective on social issues, but behind the words is humanistic care. Reading her article is warm and cool! ──Zhang Chaoxiong, Member of the Legislative Council This generation is not without talented, enthusiastic, and loving reporters, but in the face of such a chaotic and inverted society, there is still enough "mourning." Tan Huiyun gave up hypocrisy and politeness and asked the core of the question directly. I think it is this kind of "mourning" that can guard the truth in the next ten years. ──Zhuang Meiyan, Hong Kong dramatist Tan Huiyun is a touching and admirable journalist. She compiled some past reports into a book, which is indeed a gospel for young media workers, journalism students, and those who aspire to pursue journalism. ──Wang Huifen, Founder of Hong Kong Music Club https://youtu.be/Yo9dbZLhCMg
